Waste Disposal

Gloucester County residents may dispose of appropriate household trash and waste at the County’s convenience centers. Gloucester County businesses may dispose of appropriate trash and waste at the County’s convenience centers as long as the trash and waste were generated within the County. Learn what you can do with old paint (PDF).

Household appliances/TVs and furniture may also be disposed of at a convenience center.

Yard Waste

Yard waste such as pine needles, debris from small pruning jobs, brush, limbs, demolished outbuildings or sheds that do not exceed 7.5 by 10 feet, etc. may be disposed of at a convenience center as long as the amount does not exceed four cubic yards (approximately a pickup truck load).

Batteries

Auto and marine batteries can be returned to the store when you purchase a new battery and are accepted at most auto part stores in Gloucester. Rechargeable tool batteries can be recycled at the Gloucester Home Depot and Lowes. Regular household alkaline batteries can be put in the trash but lithium, rechargeable and button batteries can be taken to the main Gloucester library where they have a collection container. The batteries are sent off and recycled.

Propane Tanks

Grill propane tanks can be taken to any Blue Rhino location in Gloucester (Walmart, Food Lions, Lowes, Rite Aids and Walgreens).

Large Items

Large items such as trees, boats, building debris that fits in a regular sized large pick up truck must be taken to the main landfill at the Middle Peninsula Landfill and Recycling Center.

Residents from counties other than Gloucester County, businesses from outside Gloucester County who are working in Gloucester County (including subcontractors from outside Gloucester County even if they are working for contractors located within Gloucester County), and Gloucester County businesses disposing of waste and trash generated outside Gloucester County must take the waste and trash to the main landfill at the Middle Peninsula Landfill and Recycling Center. Certain types of demolition debris and materials are not accepted at Convenience Centers and should be taken to Middle Peninsula Landfill and Recycling Center for disposal.
